Jenna Talackova’s disqualification from Miss Universe Canada sparks fresh outrage

International outrage is growing over the disqualification of transsexual model Jenna Talackova from the finals of Miss Universe Canada.

With blond locks, long legs and delicate features, Talackova was a strong competitor in pageant but was disqualified, she says, because she used to be male, even though she made it to the finals of the contest.

The story has now flared through the British, U.S. and Canadian media in recent days, sparking online protests.

“This is discriminatory, unjust, and quite frankly disgusting,” said Oscar Dimant of Brooklyn, New York, listed as the author of the online petition at change.org.

“She is a woman and deserves to be treated as any other woman would be.”

The 23-year-old transgender model from Vancouver has accused the pageant of discrimination, and more than 30,000 supporters have now signed an online petition demanding her reinstatement.

One petition signator argued that Talackova is legally and physically a woman.

Just because I wear a dog collar, am housebroken, and bark doesn't make me a german shepard. Psychology disturbed yes...a dog no.

I don’t even think Laz would hit IT

LAZ merits a ping.

They don’t cut it off. What they do is far worse.

They slice the penis layer by layer and turn it outside-in.

They use the scrotal skin to form the labia.

I saw it on YouTube. Curiosity got the better of me.

It’s really f**ked up.

Damn. Now I have to go a cleanse my mind with some good Bourbon.
Which would you prefer Papy Winkler or Makers 46? Or maybe a good scotch?
Cheers and Good night, the Queen awaits her King.

In this case, guilt or innocence depends on the number of X chromosomes.

That is the most successful male to female transformation I’ve seen. Since Michael Jackson!

Is there such thing as surgery-dar? Does even Laz have surgery-dar? This could result in a questionable Laz coupling. May have already happened and that’s caused zero.

Great answer!
Reminds me of “when you’re toes to toes you’re nose is in it and when you’re
nose to nose you’re toes are in it”.
Olde joke! Small man and normal woman.

I have heard of Maker’s 46 but not Papy Winkler.

I don’t drink so I would not know the difference between Scotch and Bourbon. (Or whiskey).

Go ahead and laugh if you’d like. =D

I was thinking guilt or innocence could be determined by a protruding Adam’s Apple. Then, google forensic searching determined a dearth of evidence (telling in itself?). What I do not know is if, like surgery to change/remove fingerprint patterns, can an Adam’s Apple be surgically toned down or removed?
